Motivating, Supportive, and Sequential
- Songs promote rapid achievement and improvement by introducing new elements in a sequential approach.
- Students love the song challenges at each Knight level.
- Motivational incentives add an element of achievement at every step of the program:
- Student names are added to the Castle for every song that is learned.
- Pass three song challenges and become a Knight.
- Receive a certificate to acknowledge successful achievement of each new Knight level.
- Receive a flag to display on the recorder for every Knight level that is achieved.
Teachers will LOVE the Solid Pedagogy of this Method
Based on best pedagogical practices.
Sequential introduction of skills promotes rapid achievement and improvement.
Songs are designed to add new skills one at a time.
Foundational skills are well established before adding new elements.
Songs can be presented in class settings or used to allow students to progress at their own rate.
The music is interesting enough to continue playing the earlier songs in the method, even after higher skill levels are achieved, making it ideal for use in classrooms with mixed skill levels.
The inclusion of student compositions provides the opportunity to apply newly acquired skills.
Hot Cross Buns can be permanently retired – it is NOT included in the Royal Recorder kingdom!
Your Students will keep playing well into High School and Beyond!!
